    I stand corrected, hes 27 at the moment, so theoretically his best years should still be yet to come. I'll put faith in Bowyer in his decision and will reserve judgement until I've seen him play of course, but adversely to your opinion, I think he sounds pretty good for starters.

    Swap him for O'Connor. No brainer.

    He does seem like a good defender on paper but I guess none of us can pass any sort of judgement until his fitness is proven and we see how he performs on the pitch.

    don't know anything about him, but good experience, Accy wanted to keep him in League 1 and he's a giant. we could have done worse.

    can't be worse than O'Connor and NKP.

    He only came on at half time against us after they had a player sent off, but I can’t remember what he was like.

    Well if I was a opposing teams fans signing NKP and asking our website I would be gutted. Accies fans comments seem much better so lets see how the lad does.

    He has only played 15 times last season is that through injury?

    Remind me how many games Andrew Davies played for us? He was a crock but we still signed him.

    seems a solid signing, addresses our lack of height/balls/strength and dropped down a league to play in front of a big crowd which implies hes of strong character. A bit of an injury worry but I feel like the days of players getting injured never to be seen again are behind us.

    The club wanted to resign him and the fans liked him yet he spent a lot of time on the bench they must be well covered In central defence

    just because a player has had one injury lay off it doesn't mean they're injury prone. if we don't want to bother with everyone that's missed some games due to an injury we won't sign anyone.

    “We had a great changing room at Accrington in the season we got promoted from League Two. It is something you need
    A good dressing room is a must, you don't have to live in each others pockets but having a dressing room like PP & SM his first season can make a big difference on a December Tuesday night in Grimsby.

    Last season in Accy's league games ...

    Started 15 games and 2 from bench (6@ CB, 4@ LB, 3 @ RB, 4 Not specified)

    Started on bench 23 games and not used in 21 games

    Not in squad 6 games

    He doesn't appear to have been Accy's regular starting CB last season despite his height! And given the number of occasions he either started or was on the bench, injuries don't appear to have been an issue last season.

    We'll all just have to wait and see what he can do for us and where he can do it.

    Pretty much what you need for L2, big CBs who can deal with the physical and direct style of football. He meets the physical requirements, let’s hope he actually has some footballing ability to go with it.

    He was in the squad all season, nothing to do with injuries.

    Poor post.
